Reply to comment by Gwaiian in A medical isotope made from nuclear weapons waste (Tc-99m) has a six-hour half-life. How do hospitals keep it in stock? by Gwaiian
You're welcome. The Mo-99 at Darlington is specifically in Unit 2, which was just completely refurbished and can operate now for another 30 years. There is also lots of exciting work happening in Chalk River, just not with a research reactor. If medical isotopes interest you, check out the work with Ac-225 in Chalk River as a targeted alpha therapy for cancer treatment.
